That’s like stage one where you filter out the obviously incompetent ones.
You wouldn’t believe how many candidates with years of experience can’t figure out those simple problems. Or even the super well known fizzbuzz.
It’s insane, people will claim like 2-3 years of experience with Ansible, they can’t even get a file copied. Couple years of Python, they don’t understand async, generators and other pretty basic features.
People have always been lying a bit about their experience but it’s getting way, way out of control.
Knowing specific features of a language is one thing, but not being able to even pseudocode a FizzBuzz shows they lack the basic logical problem solving ability that programmers need.
